Follow The Directions

01

Step

Gather all ingredients.

02

Step

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Spread 6 slices of bread with 2 tablespoons butter on one side. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Lay buttered slices of bread, butter side down, on an extra large baking sheet. (1 minute)

05

Step

Spread bread slices evenly with cream cheese. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Top each bread slice with 2 slices of Cheddar cheese. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Top cheese with remaining bread slices. (1 minute)

08

Step

Spread tops of bread slices with 2 tablespoons butter. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Bake sandwiches for 12 to 14 minutes, flipping once, until cheese is melted. Let sandwiches cool at least 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (30 minutes)

10

Step

Meanwhile, prepare soup mixture. Whisk together tomato soup, tomato juice, eggs, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in a bowl. Stir in chopped tomato. (5 minutes)

11

Step

Cut toasted sandwiches into 1-inch cubes. (5 minutes)

12

Step

Pour soup mixture into prepared dish. (1 minute)

13

Step

Place cubes evenly over soup mixture in dish; pressing slightly to submerge in soup mixture. (3 minutes)

14

Step

Sprinkle with shredded Italian blend cheese. (1 minute)

15

Step

Bake until heated through, golden brown, and cheese is melted, 25 to 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato soup mixture.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese for the grilled cheese croutons. Gruyere or provolone would be delicious!
If you don't have tomato juice on hand, you can substitute with vegetable broth or even water.
Make sure the grilled cheese croutons are golden brown for the best texture and flavor.
Letting the sandwiches cool slightly before cubing them will prevent them from becoming too soft.
